Bright second-floor retirement apartment with balcony, communal bistro and long lease.
Second-floor two-bedroom retirement apartment with balcony
A bright, well-presented two-bedroom apartment on the second floor of a sought-after retirement development in Devizes. The large double-aspect sitting room opens onto a private balcony overlooking landscaped communal gardens, and the fitted kitchen includes recent appliances ready for immediate use. Both bedrooms are doubles; the main bedroom benefits from a walk-in wardrobe and a peaceful garden outlook. Level-access wet room plus a separate WC provide practical, accessible bathing facilities.
The development offers strong communal facilities suited to retirement living: an on-site bistro, residents’ lounge, guest suite and well-kept communal gardens. An allocated off-street parking space sits to the front of the building. The property is offered chain-free and has an exceptionally long lease, providing security for longer-term ownership.
Notable costs are important to weigh: the annual service charge is high at £12,372 and there is an annual ground rent of £510. Heating is electric via room heaters, which may increase running costs compared with gas central heating. The apartment is leasehold, so prospective buyers should allow for ongoing service and ground rent commitments.
This apartment will suit a downsizer or retired buyer seeking communal support, social facilities and low-mobility-friendly accommodation in a quiet, well-maintained complex. It offers comfortable, ready-to-live-in accommodation with clear potential for someone who values on-site amenities and easy access to communal life, while being upfront about the higher service charges and electric heating arrangement.
